    They’re BIOS locked and only accept Windows keys. On the plus side. Tuxedo is developing Linux notebooks with the same powerful, low-power ARM chips.

      Yeah, I assumed so, really dislike that you can’t do what you want with hardware you own.

      Edit: apparently not locked down, which is great

        Their source is they made it the fuck up. The most recent devices from previous generations running Windows on ARM weren’t boot locked. Only the surface RT was boot locked.

      Where did you get this from? Their predecessors weren’t UEFI locked. Qualcomm themselves are working on mainline Linux support. Unless you have sources I am calling bullshit.
